Risk factors for groin/hip injuries in field-based sports (FBS)

Groin/hip injuries are common in the athletic population, particularly in sports requiring kicking, twisting, turning and rapid acceleration and deceleration, contributing with 10 % of all attendances to sports medicine centers. This systematic review aims to identify and examine the evidence for groin/hip injury risk factors in field based sports (FBS).

The most prominent limitation of the review is the heterogeneity of the studies disallowing meta-analysis. > From: Ryan et al., Br J Sports Med (2014) (Epub ahead of print). All rights reserved to BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
